Known Issues

• Local Co-Op runs are saved and loaded in single-player instead of being able to be continued in local Co-Op.

  • We are working on a solution that will allow you to choose and continue a saved local Co-Op run with a partner when loading it.

  • A local Co-Op session saved in the Castle or Hub will also save your friend’s spell loadout and load it if you continue to play in local Co-Op.

• Local Co-Op requires two controllers to be enabled and doesn’t support mouse & keyboard.

  • We are working on a solution that will allow you to enable local Co-Op regardless of connected input devices.

  • This solution will also allow you to assign any connected input devices to be used by any player while local Co-Op is enabled, including mouse & keyboard.
